Several hundred employees of the interior Ministry held a rally near the building of the Louvre. thus they intended to demonstrate dissatisfaction with the activities of sectoral trade unions, which, in their opinion, do not protect the interests of law enforcement officers.
“The government wanted to buy our loyalty, promising the money [for bringing order to the police infrastructure]. But they must understand that only by these measures can’t solve all the problems. It is necessary that all the police rallied, and the unions all too often take the side of the government,” explained one of the protesters.
